i need the answer to this mathamatical question (3x6)+12/2-8

recall PEMDAS: Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. this is the order which must be followed when performing multiple operations. therefore,

(3 x 6) + 12/2 - 8
18 + 12/2 - 8
18 + 6 - 8
24 - 8
16

hope this helps~ :)
